[...] President Bush will praise Nancy Pelosi tonight in his State of the Union address for her cooperation on the economic stimulus farce. Ain’t bipartisanship [...]

Well I’d certainly like to have some money back for the over $13,000 I paid in taxes last year, but I won’t.

Steal from me to pay for thee.

“Panic” is a key word here. To act with such haste implies immediate action is necessary, not just discretionary. An underlying assumption is that the economy is in worse shape than is being reported.

Why aren’t the Dems waving mufflers and saying it’ll do nothing for the poor?

If they want to give me back some of my money I’m fine with that. That means fewer bridges to nowhere. And if it raises the deficit, big deal. The deficit is the only brake that has any effect on Washington spending.

Thanks for fighting for economic conservatism, Republicans!! The GOP is in such a great state precisely because of that.

Can I get government subsidised coverage for the head wound I’m about to self-inflict by banging my head against a wall?

We are going to get the guilded purple shaft with barbed wire clusters in our household tool. Our combined income exceeds $75,000 so no rebate for us. Nothing like punishing the producers to give our money to people who pay little or no taxes. Makes me as happy as seeing someone get more back in a tax rebate then they pay in to the system.

Yup, another dumb move. I’ve given up on Bush. I expect this kind of crap from the dems. Once again, redistribution. I wonder what else is in this plan? Will people on welfare, ssi get their money to buy a fancy 60 inch LCD HDTV ?

The cutoff @ $75K makes this a redistribution – our $300 in taxes to cover the deficit to somebody who doesn’t pay taxes.

Have ranted about that, it is smart to buy calls on booze and toys.

Never mind the hidden stuff. The bill overall STINKS, as usual.

Once again, I hope level heads are reading the fine print on the wording of this “stimulous package”; how many times have democrats signed onto something they didn’t want only for Republicans to see – after it was too late – that there was some provision about amnesty, future tax increases or some other bit of socialism hidden in the mix?

Is this “rebate” or “stimulus” plan “FOR THE CHIIIIIILDREN”, too?

Well, since I am also rich…made more than $75,000 last year, I should have money to invest. Since this package will elevate the stock of Philip Morris and Anheuser Busch, I am going to buy a bunch of call options on those stocks.

Also, why the $150k ceiling? People making over that amount are paying most of the taxes in this country. Why are they getting the shaft?

Yes, and they’re also getting hit by the AMT. Why are they getting the shaft? Because they already have “TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH” and they don’t deserve anything more!!!!
